I stopped giving/supporting WWP when I discovered that WWP is a lie. If you were wounded in service to your country, you were excluded if you were not in the present conflicts. VN vets are not excepted for treatment from WWP. And just why is it that the CEO of WWP get a $300 thousand dollar a year sallery? You would think that he would work for free! It's for a good cause ya know. Just like the Red Cross.

I am still supporting them with a monthly donation, but I am waiting to see exactly what they say coming up soon. If they maintain their anti gun position, I will have to stop my support. Carver, every single organization has its issues..this one is no different...

The 20% on each dollar makes it down to the veterans. The other 80% is going to the people who solict the funds. After looking at these facts gun issues aside, I will not support them. Find a veteran in your church or town give it direct to these families.

If your edgy about it buckshot but ya still want to help.
Don't know what your health is like, but volenter to drive a disabled vet to his appt. or mow there lawn for them. show up with some nice take out.
Cash donations are great. but if you realy want to help. help in a way they will realy need it. usaly day to day stuff.

Take it from a disabled vet. It means more to me to have some one help me around the house,like mowing my yard, than a check or cash. It's hard to tell a check thank you.

I did some bike races and raised a bunch of money for them but I have to question some of their policies. Overall it is a good organization but like said, there are faults to be found in anything that large.

And I'm not gonna slam em yet either, I still have a ways to go in the military and may need them yet!

Same reason I stopped the United Way ......80% of the money went to the office and the CEO .....then there was cash disappearing .....it always sounds great and starts out great then down hill it goes .....

Reflecting the power of a bit of publicity accompanied with spontaneous grassroots activism, a spokesperson for the Wounded Warrior Project expressed regret for “the appearance of a lack of appreciation for the support the [firearms] community has given us based on a confusingly communicated business decision,” the Professional Outdoor Media Association reported this afternoon.

POMA had attempted to ascertain why a representative from WWP had declined an interview request on Tom Gresham’s nationally syndicated Gun Talk Radio program, with the given excuse being because it involved firearms, a story shared today on Gun Rights Examiner.

“After two days of requests … from POMA to connect and clarify facts, another WWP representative, Ayla Hay responded today,” the report relates, providing the verbatim response received.

“We welcome the opportunity to have a warrior on Mr. Gresham’s show to discuss how hunting or events of the like have supported their recovery,” Hay affirmed, reversing the position articulated by the group’s public relations director. “We responded too quickly to his request and should have delved a bit deeper.”

“While it would have been appropriate last week to have a warrior on the show to talk about his or her activities with the WWP, at this point, the story is about your policy,” Gresham responded.

“I would welcome any spokesperson from WWP on the show to talk specifically about the policy about firearms,” he continued. “There is … much confusion with those who have donated to the Wounded Warrior Project (individuals and corporate donors) on what appears to be a discrepancy -- WWP will not appear at events or talk to media when it's about firearms, but WWP is okay with taking those donations.

“This is the area I'd like to clear up when the Wounded Warrior Project provides a guest, Gresham concluded, asking if they could “provide someone to address these issues on the show.”

At this writing, it is unknown if the group will provide a representative under those conditions.

In a related development, Seattle Gun Rights Examiner Dave Workman reports the national organization Knife Rights has also requested clarification on WWP policies as they relate to knives. This correspondent is in communication with the group’s executive director, Doug Ritter, and will share developments in this story when they become known.

One thing that's evident in spite of much noise to the contrary by anti-gunners who can't marshal and mobilize such grassroots force on a moment's notice -- the firearms community can.

No matter how this turns out, I think there are probably better choices for donations. Make no mistake, no matter your choice, the point is to support our veterans and our military personnel. Tangible, on-going support. We owe them everything.
